Synopses of Cochrane Reviews from Cochrane Library Issue 12 2020 Through Issue 3 2021.

Abstract

Editor’s Note: JACM is proud to commence a new column partnership with L. Susan Wieland, PhD, and the Cochrane Complementary Medicine Field. Dr. Wieland, who is Co-Director of the Field, and JACM Editor-in-Chief Holger Cramer, PhD speak to the value of the Cochrane work in the lead editorial in this issue. The two have a long relationship of collaborating on Cochrane projects. As such, this new columnservesdoublyasanadditionalmeansofdeclaringforwhatDr.CramerisbringingtoJACMsincehisstartinthispositioninJanuaryof this year [WS1]. This set of 10 Cochrane systematic review synopses [WS2] offers strong evidence of Cochrane’s recent work in the JACM space. Wieland includes pieces related to interventions such as vegan diets, CoQ10, intermittent fasting, acupuncture, melatonin and more. A part of the selection speaks also to the integrative field’s overlap with whole health, with abstracts that relate, for instance to walking and smoking cessation. I can comfortably speak for Dr. Cramer and the rest of the JACM team that we are pleased to play this ongoing role in the JohnWeeks,ContributionEditor,SpecialProjectsandCollaborations,JACM(johnweeks-integrator.com)
